Recently one of my lad wrote the following:
How is everything over there;hope all is well if so doxology
I mean to say how many times in the last week have any of us seen or used the word "doxology". To be honest I had no idea what it meant except that it might be something to do with the study of doxies. The word doxy is an 18th Century term for an immoral woman. Now I'm all in favor of undertaking a study of working girls but if that's what he meant then the sentence didn't make much sense. True, very little of what the lads write actually makes sense.
Anyway I looked the word up in the dictionary, it means:
dox�ol�o�gy /dɒkˈsɒlədʒi/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[dok-sol-uh-jee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
�noun, plural -gies.
1. a hymn or form of words containing an ascription of praise to God.
2. the Doxology, the metrical formula beginning �Praise God from whom all blessings flow.�
[Origin: 1640�50; < ML doxologia < Gk, equiv. to doxo- (comb. form of d�xa honor, glory) + -logia -logy]
So a lad has added an additional word to my vocabulary, not certain how often I'll get to use it though. |

That sounds incredibly like my old chum Mister Jimbo from Ghana...
He taught me the word, "Doxology", and in return I gave him "Wummery"....... |

Actually, Barney, it does make sense, although the use of the word "doxology" is unusual.
Substitute the first line of the hymn ("praise God from whom all blessings flow") into the mugu's mail and read it again. It makes sense.

Maybe he failed to replace one of the required words in his template. Probably because he doesn't know what it means. |
